From what I know of the guy, I like Brian Butch. He’s my age, hails from my hometown, was a Badger, and when St. Pizza, Marinara and I met him at a Brewer game a few years back, he wasn’t remotely a dick to us even though we were drunk and probably annoying as shit. 

Butch has yet to realize NBA glory since leaving Madison, but has spent time playing in the NBA’s D-League, as well as China, Germany and, currently, Greece. Even cooler, Butch is now a pitchman for Pep’s Pizza, a Wisconsin-based frozen pizza company.

The following ad has everything I love in a commercial: A local celebrity, unnecessarily switching camera angles which the actor can’t quite catch up with, NO budget, pizza, and that thing where someone shoots a basketball without looking and swishes it.

I’ve watched the commercial like 12 times, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Butch really made the shot.
